Subspace identification using the saturation measurement in data-driven control systems

Saturation characteristic exists widely in the real system, and a large number of articles have taken constraint conditions into account during the controller design process. However, relative to the research on the input (actuator) saturation, study on the output (sensor) saturation has not been taken seriously and research results are very little, especially in the aspect of effect on the identification due to the saturation output. In this paper, under the data-driven control system based on online subspace identification and model predictive control (MPC) method, the relationship among the output saturation step, prediction horizon and subspace matrix is obtained, while the change of the system information is unknown because the output signals are locked. Finally, a simulation example is given to demonstrate the correction of the conclusion.
